It has come to our notice that many players still haven’t understood the core reasoning behind these changes. We would like to try to dispel these misunderstandings. Background: - Some classes cannot really play parts of the game content because they lack some basic characteristics - Some classes have way too many advantages in comparison to their disadvantages - Some formulas were working strangely, which in the end produced some strange results - Damage has been inflated a bit too much in comp…

You cannot really separate completely PvP from PvE. You still have buffs that are really unique and add quite good amount of damage in PvE - not so much in PvP - we are still in talks about this. Skills will help you by not needing to be tanking to cast them (Dragon Roar), etc. @LionKing, read this: 1st PvP Balancing Optimisation

Regarding Healing Shamans' damage. This will need to be addressed but most likely there won't be enough time to handle it till we need to deploy the update. We really need lots of feedback regarding the PvP damage, but good feedback, with images, videos to explain. This would help a lot to explain it to WebZen. There is something wrong, no one use skills in PvM. Quote from Priore: “ I wanted to talk about another thing. Since most of PvM activities are carried out on a mount under this aspect dr…

It means that Dragon Shaman can handle PvE better than Healing Shaman. With this update, it change this paradigm a bit.

Quote from YoTeDoPo: “Quote from unforgiven: “Healer shaman will no longer be able to stun for 6X seconds. Isn't this a huge trade off too? Besides that, healers will have more drawbacks, if they want to deal more damage with skills, they will need to use fans. Everyone knows how good fans are for PvE. ” You say this like they were using Bells before this update... ” How do you level up, how do you farm Metin Stones or Bosses?

Healer shaman will no longer be able to stun for 6X seconds. Isn't this a huge trade off too? Besides that, healers will have more drawbacks, if they want to deal more damage with skills, they will need to use fans. Everyone knows how good fans are for PvE.

Priore, Of course that there will be some damage loss but we need to start the whole balancing somewhere and we are trying to reduce the damage. With this update, PvE will become easier for Shamans, a bit harder for other classes because of the reduction of Dragon Aid. PvP will be more tactical and less damage will be dealt overall - less 1 hit kills. Ok, critical might have less power here but it will make it more fun because it will take more time to kill other characters.

The chance is not directly about Shamans, this is the reason why we are trying to expand the ownbuff from Shamans even further. And reducing by from 50% to 30%, 33% for Dragon Shaman, is not nerfing to the ground, the only situation is when you have no other way of getting critical chance... but that is a completely different problem.

Because you need to control better your resources. If you let yourself die, if you do not assess risks properly you might not have buffs for a good chunk of time. This is why it balances out.

Dragon Shaman has easier time with PvE than Healing Shaman. With this update, Dragon Shaman can slay Bosses and Metins, you just need to attack on the horse AND use skills. Some players have tried and have noticed this. > Shaman balancing

1 - Dragon Shaman got more Attack Value > They will not get the same as normal Melee Character 2 - It lets you level up so much easier since your skills deal more damage. PvP gets also easier because skills deal more damage and you do not need to tank to cast them. Ok, you do not have a specific weapon at the moment but you are still going to deal more damage independently! 3 - This doesn't work like this, it isn't just "increase values". There were some downsides to this increase > cooldown for…

It makes no sense compare values cold-turkey. Skills and damage is not calculated the same way on each class.

Quote from Michu: “I think they should remove this 20% boost for bell and fan and increase base skill damage for 20%. ” This was requested and it was refused. Quote from Priore: “Quote from Michu: “I think they should remove this 20% boost for bell and fan and increase base skill damage for 20%. ” In order to make everyone happy they should make bells hitting hard in PvP as fans do. In this way: Bells will be used in pvp People with with final fans won't be forced to go for bells in order to be …

So, as last question: - If I request that there no change will happen to Dragon Shaman the players here will be happy? (this doesn't mean that it will happen!) this will include: - no increase in damage in any way - no changes on how the skills work - no change at all only for Dragon Shaman

Every single weapon works in a different way. A 2-handed weapon with 30 Attack Speed attacks slower than a 1-handed sword with 30 Attack Speed. The bonuses for each weapon, just like the standard statistics can be different from class to class. At the moment, there is no reason to add a sword for the warrior. Just because this won't be added now, this doesn't mean that a new sword will never be added. Regarding the mount bug, give me examples with videos and explanation because I have read it an…

Quote from Th3Original: “So, with this update we will have 3 reasons to leave the game.. 1st: PvP will become Magic Sura Vs Healer Shamans... Warriors, ninjas, suras Wep etc will no longer can use one of the advantages, damage in hit... This because critics now are very rare to hit and when hit, is has very low damage. 2nd: Lycans will no longer be usefull PvP and PvM. 3rd: Buffers will no longer have use, people wasted lots of time to put their Buffers at lv 100, and now they want kill onde of …

This skill can have huge impact on melee classes (it basically would multiply their damage even further). With this in hand, currently there are no further planned changes to it. Shaman Healers themselves already had a pretty nice boost which would let them have better performance in PvE and still strong in PvP. It does not need more Magic Damage.

Hello Elodin, Let's take this as a bonus for having specific gears.. but that doesn't change the fact that you'll have the same duration as a Warrior. Currently this is what I managed to get for Lycan, I do not think I will manage to extend it further.

The 106k damage can happen. Bosses, sometimes, can deal 26x their damage. Having more than 2 players doing a boss is a necessity because of this.

That's a nice way of overcoming the cooldown, just like just DCing the character to reset its skills... Anyways, as I said before, we will reduce the cooldown with the next update although WebZen wants to reduce the Critical Hit chance given by Dragon Aid as exchange.
